Again, I am not sure how you built your loyal and extensive following, and KUDOS to you for your efforts. Perhaps a FRIEND deserves some of your knowledge in lieu of a “defriend” or just being ignored. Perhaps they are counting on you to assist them in their endeavor as maybe they did for you way back when.

This is just my opinion and I am very new to the social networking via internet thing. However I am 50 years old and have had many a flyer put on my car window, or placed stratigically in my mail and have also received magazines from companies that I never ordered from. I can either toss those or look at those. Statistic show that out of 100, 30 will look and 10 will buy. Not too bad, its the basic fundamental way of getting yourself started on a low budget.

I look forward to reading your posts/rants/information and also wouldnt mind if you shared a link or two that is completely unrelated to what you do.

People are kinder than you think. Its just that the unkind ones make the most noise and unfortunately they are the ones being heard.

You should be very well aware that when you tweet something, this will be sent onto a public and open forum. If you don’t want someone to see something, you shouldn’t post it. But on Twitter, you can hide behind an identity, so you can further keep yourself anonymous – some people prefer nicknames for this very reason.

Among this, if you’re using your real name on Twitter, if you tweet your geolocation on something like Google Earth, you should not be surprised if someone is able to find where you are – Announcing your real name can be very risky, and announcing your geolocation is worse. If you announce your geolocation and you have a nickname, maybe you can luck out just a bit because they do not know you’re Jane Smith at this location, or John Doe in this state.

Likewise, be aware that others can see your thoughts too if you’re announcing your thoughts – so if you say you think your boss is a clown, be aware if you use your real name, your boss can see that tweet. This is just like posting pictures of yourself drunk or stoned on FaceBook without considering that your parents can see it, or that people can learn information from you and already know this while talking to you face-to-face.

Yes, there are hazards of stalkers amongst this, but an instance that happened around 2011 shows that tweeting a geolocation can be risky. One person was being held against his will by his parents last year, so his friends organized a “Rescue” mission, and their friends updated with geolocations not only of where the rescuers were taking their friend, but also where they were and what routes were taking. A few days later, his possessive parents found where he was – it didn’t take long simply because they knew about Twitter and found all the geolocations archived in users’ twitter feeds. While it thankfully does have a happy ending (The person in question has found a job and is away from his possessive parents.), this should send a message that you should not assume you’re the only person who uses Twitter.

Long story short, be careful what you post, especially if you’re using your real name.

-Don’t give TMI

There have been plenty of people joking about how others use Twitter. Such as announcing that they’re using the bathroom, or saying just about everything. Really, we don’t need to hear your bathroom habits. Keep some things private – we’re not your doctors, we don’t need to know what kind of gross medical conditions you’ve developed.

but im not sure to start with blogger or wordpress i know to use both of them and i love every thing what google makes and i use most of them for my daily life so blogger seems to be more about me but i also know that wordpress is more advanced and will give more space to grow for the future of my blog like places for add banners or widgets that i’ll need in future or beautiful templates. So what do you prefer for me?
